public static function getDb() {return Yii::$app->get('db_o');} is missing

[lowap]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

• create a new config file for connecting oracle db e.g. config/db_o.php
• define 'db_o' => require(__DIR__ . '/db_o.php'), in config/web.php
• generate model class with giiant using connection db_o
• try to generate giiant CRUD for class generated using connection db_o

What's expected?

that CRUD generator is using public static function getDb() {return Yii::$app->get('db_o');} of class
(standard gii is generating it)

What do you get instead?

public static function getDb() {return Yii::$app->get('db_o');} is missing in model class, so error message: Invalid Configuration - The table does not exist

You can work around that issue by using the giiant-module which has a ConnectionTrait, which you can use to specify a custom db connection in your models. But you can also use just the trait.

You can generate traits into models (and controllers, btw) with --baseTraits or --modelBaseTraits (batch command).
